Chicago memories.

My brother and his girlfriend went to a Cubs game a couple weeks ago and I thought the May Clique Kits had some great papers and embellishments to coordinate with a photo they took in front of Wrigley Field.

The patterned paper from Basic Grey is really pretty but kind of wild. Using THIS sketch from Stuck?! Sketches helped to balance out the robust pattern. The layers of strips of paper under the photo help to ground it and draw your eye to the photo.

I realize now I forgot to do a haul video with my May Clique Kit so I will do that next!
The only things not from the kit are a couple of Elle's Studio labels and the stamps.
